I~NDIANAPOLIs. Nov. 9~.--Barbarous
cruelty has been exposed in the methods
of the managers of the Female reforms
tory at this place. Girls are tied up by
the hands and stripped TO the waist, and
lashed with straps on the back and arms.
Another method is to compel the women
to put their arms through holes
i'll an iron door and handcuil them
on the outside. One woman stood in
this position for three days, being only
released at night. One girl was found
whose back was literally covered with
black and blue stripes from q recent
whipping. Another woman who was
about to become a mother, fell and broke
her leg. 1t had to be set in plaster. Thi.
was two weeks ago andthc physician had
not paid her my attention since. The
institution has been managed by women
for the past fourteen wears.

THE RAILROAD HORROR.
A Rockville Man a Probable Victim

A Rockville Man a Probable Victim
 A Sumeld Woman Also.
 Charles Cadieux, Frenchman about fifty years old, residing on Brooklyn street, Rock vile, Conn.,, started for Montreal to attend his fathers golden wedding on the 6:3O train for Springfield Friday evening, and it is supposed left Springfield on the train that met with the terrible disaster near White River Junction that night. His sons tele- graphed friends in Montreal Monday to find out if he had arrived there and expected an answer yesterday, but they are convinced he was on the i'll fated train and afraid that he was killed. E. F. DilloE of Dartmouth col lege who was among the killed, was we'll known in Rockville and has many friends there. He spent some time in Rockville last summer, and was the guest of H. L. James.
 One of the victims of the Vermont railroad disaster was Miss Agnes Rogers, who has been a faithful domestic at the Connecticut Literary institution at Suf6eld for the past two years. She was @ native of Canada, having 8 sister living in Montreal and a father and mother living about twenty miles out of that city. Thinking to take advan- tage of the reduced rates of fare from Spring field to Montreal and make her parents and sister visit, she left Suffield on the 40 train Friday afternoon for Montreal. Sunday Professor Smith of the Connecticut Literary institution had telegram from Miss Rogers sister at Montreal asking if her sister left there on that day. Monday morning Profes- sor Smith went to Springfield and has inves- tigated the case, and there IS no doubt that she was among the killed.
 The Grays meet to- night to take action in reference to the death of Private Louis B. James, who was killed at the White River Junction disaster. The remains of the de- ceased have been identified by his brother, but the authorities will not yet let the re- mains go as another party claims the body.
 Fears are entertained by the friends of c. E. Andrews, of Forestville, that he is among the unrecognized victims of the White River Junction wreck. He started for Canada to leave Springfield on that train and has not been heard from.

AJOuNT SESSION

Of the Public Works Board and Select
 men-The Bridge Tender Question
 City Improvements.
 The board of public works and the board
 of selectmen held joint meeting last night
 for the purpose of hiring bridge tender.
 The names of Thomas O'Connor, M. 0. Mer-
 Till, Andrew J. Callahan, George 0. Hamil-
 ton, Michael Began, Chester T. Burroughs.
 Patrick Roland, Patrick Kennedy, Alfred A.
 Hill, F. A. Thompson, Frank Alden and John J. Brennan were presented for that po- sition, which almost everybody seems desir- ous of filling.
 Commissioner States said that before the town bought the bridge the bridge company
 had thought of opening and closing the
 bridge by steam power. It might be good l thing to investigate. It was referred to the bridge committees of both boards to report at the next joint convention.
 The application of Edward s. Burt, the present incumbent, was read. He would do l the work and furnish all it's necessary appur- l tenances for $120 month.
 Commissioner Whitney moved that $1O0 be paid, and Commissioner Sullivan amended the motion by putting the amount back to 1 S120 The motion was tabled for the present. The board of selectmen then withdrew, and the board of public works began it's or ganization for the coming year by electing l Commissioner Riley as temporary chairman, l Mayor York not being present. l Commissioner States said thing he deem ed very important was the grading of Prout street, and he wished to bring it before the board at this meeting. Commissioner Whit ney moved that specifications of the street in
 it's present condition be made out by the city | engineer, and that they be presented to the ! board at it's next meeting. Passed. l It was moved and passed that recommen- l dation be made for the extension of Lamber- | ton street to the boulevard, a distance ot about sixty feet.
 1 The report of the coal committee appoint | ed at the last meeting of the board was made I by Commissioner Riley and accepted. They could buy coal for a few days, until the | strike assumed probably another phase, for l $5 25 ton
 Commissioner Whitney moved that the
 board proceed to organize and appoint com mittees Commissioner Sullivan objected,
 thinking it would be just we'll at the next meeting. Commissioner States, the new member of the board, desired to look into l the duties of the different committees before the organization of the board was perfected. The organization was put over. It was moved and passed that Commission CT States act on all committees where Con- l missioner Stackpole's name occurs until new committees are appointed.
